Putting the Validity in Laboratory Validations Part II: A Deeper Dive into Validation Nuances

Join us Thursday, January 23, for a free CE webinar titled Advanced Validations.

Alec Saitman, PhD, C(ASCP), DABCC (CC, TC) will share his expertise as a technical director on how to engage staff in validation experiments and design validation protocols.

After this webinar, you will be able to:

• 1. Describe options for identifying or contriving difficult-to-find specimens that are required for validation experiments.
• 2. Design experiments required to validate new collection devices or new source types.
• 3. Determine which experiments are needed if the instrument has been previously validated but either is not used for an extended period or needs to be moved to a new location.
• 4. Discuss options for creating metrics required to define passing criteria for validation experiments.

This webinar is at the basic level of instruction and approved for 1.0 P.A.C.E. contact hour. MediaLab by Vastian is approved as a provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory sciences by the ASCLS P.A.C.E.® Program.
